Fished for about 4 hours or so at CJ on Friday. Fishing was decent. We caught several crappie in the 8-10 inch range as well as smaller ones, several perch around 9-10 inches, and a couple bass. The highlight was a nice 18-19 inch bass I caught on my ice fishing rod. What a HOOOOOOOT! We didn't catch any bass that I can recall in the short time that we were targeting them.
Anyway, we filled the better part of my 45 quart cooler in that time. Finally, in the last 9 minutes we decided to keep count. We caught 12 crappie and perch in the last 9 minutes, which was pretty indicative of the whole time we were targeting perch and crappie.
Small (1.5 to 2 inch) curly tails in dark colors worked really well. Fished them quickly in the upper 3-7 FOW seemed to work best but you could also get them deeper.
Tight lines.
